AC Milan are looking to hire a new head coach, and a decision will be made in the summer. So, candidates can still be added to the list, and it seems the club have added a fourth horse.
By all accounts, Sergio Conceicao’s time with the Rossoneri will end at the end of the season after a disappointing six-month spell. Reports have suggested he is still fighting for continuance, but it seems highly unlikely.

Antonio Conte, Roberto De Zerbi and Massimiliano Allegri lead the race to be the next Milan head coach, it seems, with the club focusing on an Italian hire, after recent international coaches have proved unsuccessful.
So, the news today about Vincenzo Italiano is not a huge shock. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Bologna head coach now features alongside his Italian counterparts, and he explained the current situation as it stands to Sky Sport, via Milan News.
“Regarding the coach, to the names that are daily approached to the Milan bench, I would also add that of Vincenzo Italiano because he is a coach that the Rossoneri directors and Furlani like a lot.
“He’s definitely on the Rossoneri club’s list, I don’t know in what position but they like him at Via Aldo Rossi. And I think he deserves it for what he did at Fiorentina and Bologna. Bologna chose him to replace Thiago Motta, who was not easy to replace.
“He has a two-year contract with the Emiliani, the renewal talks haven’t started yet, I don’t think Italiano wants to start the season with only one year left on his contract. We’ll see if some big names like AC Milan and Roma will think of him.
“We’ll see if Paratici will also mention his name or if he will go for other profiles. However, the name of Italiano is liked at the Milan club.”
Should have been De Zerbi from the start.
Italiano for me has proven himself in Serie A and Europe with Bologna and Fiorentina. He’s my number one choice. Give him a good quality squad.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I bet THEY like him a lot and I wonder why? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
By all accounts it’s going to be Allegri yes man and cheap ticks all the boxes doing further damage to the club if that’s entirely possible.
Any more for any more ?
#GET ELLIOT / REDBIRD OUT.
Way better option than De Zerbi.
Bologna looked very good in UCL and in serie A.
Neither DeZerbi nor Italiano are ready for big clubs. Have we not learned anything from the Motta experiment?
Italiano isn’t Motta.
Italiano already coached Fiorentina in Europe for 2 years in a row where they reached the finals and then this season again he had a very good campaign in UCL. So he is someone that can juggle 2 important competitions. Motta never coached anywhere outside of serie A before he got the Juventus job. Big difference. And there are a lot of people responsible for Juventus state this season, from management to players, but Motta was chosen to be the scapegoat. Giuntolli is worse than Milan management since he took over Juventus. His transfer campaign was disastrous, but he blamed Motta for everything .
Yes please. And no to De Zerbi. We’ve been leaking ever since Pioli’s last season. No more.
I’d be excited about Italiano
100% support Italiano to be Milan coach
